Eating Tokyo – Part One
Tokyo boasts more Michelin stars than any city on the planet – a total of 263 were awarded in 2023. For foodies seeking the best eating experience while visiting the city, this can lead to stress overload. Trying to select three exquisite meals a day, multiplied by the number of travel days, leaves many difficult decisions about which restaurants to book. Many of us would struggle to keep up such a schedule of fine dining, and in any case, Tokyo has many sights to see aside from what is on a plate. In Tokyo, you can avoid a state of FOMO breakdown and wallet collapse as the city has excellent food at all price points. Often, bargains are to be found underground, where you will discover a lively eating scene with some delicious dishes.
